Enable app with SNI support #7

Our server is hosting multiple https domains under the same IP address. This was not possible in the past, but is fixed with Server Name Indication (SNI) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication

However, both server and client need to support SNI and the Apache HTTP stack in Android does not. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5879894/android-ssl-sni-support

The goal is to switch to HttpsURLConnection instead

Turns out that HttpsURLConnection requires the WWW-Authentication header being present when a 401 error is returned.
